My DV79, is it dead?

Guest

When i try and play DVD's on my 79 it makes a horrible clicking noise while saying "load" then flashes up no disc.
Cant eject the disc, then the machine switches itself off, restarts and i can open the drawer.
Anyone else ebncountered this?

nah, started about a week ago, the odd disc that had worked before would flag bad disc, then its got to how it is now.
Its region modded so its not that. I'll take it back on saturday, see what they can do with it.
Shame really 'cos its a superb player

Spookily my dv89 has just done the same thing (except more gradually over a couple of months) so let us know how you get on with any repair...

BTW, does anyone know if I need to return to the dealer I bought from, or will a nearer one honour the warrranty/affect the repair? Will be ages before i can get back to the original shop (and twice at that probably)
